NOBLER, FACETTIERT GESCHLIFFENER RING
Achat
China
Östliche Zhou, Streitende Reiche, 4. - 3. Jahrhundert vor
DM. 4,7 CM
瑪瑙瑗。中國，東周代，戰國時期，公元前4-3世紀。直徑4.7厘米。維也納私人舊藏。

Ein exakt und sehr ebenmäßig geschliffener Ring, der vier schräge Flächen bietet, eine fünfte schmale und gerade ist in der Mitte innenseitig. Diese Perfektheit der Arbeit hat zweifellos ihre ganz eigene faszinierende Seite gemessen an der Zeit, wann dieser Ring entstanden ist - vor über 2000 Jahren. Dieser Achat hat eine teils grünliche Jadefarbe, dazu ein bewegtes Spiel mit gelbbraunen bis dunkelbraunen Schattierungen, Wolken und kleinen Bändern.

J. J. Lally (New York) hat in “Chinese Archaic Jades and Bronzes” in Nr. 86 einige Beispiele aus gleicher Zeit publiziert, vorwiegend aus der Sammlung Max Loehr.

Notes by Prof. Salviati: Faceted rings in agate such as the present one were common during the Eastern Zhou period and utilized to form ornaments made up of several jades strung together : they represent a novelty in the repertory of shapes and remained in use from the Spring and Autumn to the Western Han dynasty, reaching the peak of their popularity in the Warring States period. They have been found in several parts of China but seem to have been particularly favoured in eastern Shandong province. Agate rings are always characterized by faceted sides. Comparable rings include some from the Arthur M. Sackler (1913-1987) collections, sold at Christie’s New York on 18 March 2009 (sale 2268), Lot 308: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/Lot/three-agate-rings-and-a-white-jade-5181944-details.aspx; a second one from the collection of R. H. Ellsworth (1929-2014), auctioned at Christie’s New York on 19 March 2015 (sale 11420), Lot 581: http://www.christies.com/lotfinder/lot/two-agate-faceted-rings-china-late-warring-5876638-details.aspx?from=salesummery&intObjectID=5876638&sid=99a72b8d-24b2-40a7-a133-4f2f8791a87e; and two more from the collection of Max Loehr (1903-1988), offered at Sotheby’s Paris on 15 December 2016, sale PF1627, Lot 68: http://www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2016/jades-archaiques-de-chine-pf1627/lot.68.html.
